The decision to introduce cellphone service in the city's underground subway stations touched off a flurry of interest in the telecommunications industry yesterday, as the Metropolitan Transportation Authority began soliciting bids for a 10-year contract that will involve immense technical complexity and probably be worth $50 million to $100 million.

So far, they're only talking about stations, not tunnels.

What amuses me is, they want to do this, but at the same time have been saying it's a good thing that cell phones don't work in the subway because of "terror threats." Which one is it?
